Barbarian called "the scourge of God” (6)

I believe the answer is:

attila

(Other definitions for attila that I've seen before include "King of the Huns, invader of the Roman Empire" , "Warrior" , "Fifth century king of the Huns" , "Great king of the huns" , "Most feared barbarian invader of the Roman Empire, d. 453" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
